He is what we are looking for.

Tough tackling, grit, determination.

Would be our Roy Keane if we bought him.

He's a very good player, and those qualities are definatly needed at spurs, but...

Hes continually in trouble for fighting and having spats with team mates. Roy Keane did too but not in as brutal a way, and always maintained respect for the players he was argueing with. Im not sure Barton does.

It would be brillaint to sign him and change him into a commited hard working keane eske player

It would be a tradgedy to sign him and then he had a detrimental effect to the moral of the team.

I dont want him. I dont like him at all, his attuitude is awful he is too much of a loose cannon.
We are steadily building a pretty decent team spirit at the lane, the last thing I want to see is characters who could potentially divide such spirit being brought in.

Add to this, I am by no means an expert on him but from what I have seen of him Im no convinced he is as good as people have being crediting him.
He has a good press (ability wise) but maybe alot of the fuss made of him is purley by the media because they know he is a constant potential news story, this rasied his profile, got him noticed and any postive play gets as microscoped as his off the field incidents.

I dont like him, Im not convinced he is even that good and I dont want him anywhere near our club.

I said this in the thread in general football, but until today I would have said yes please. I really think we lack someone who will put their foot in and drive us forward, and Barton has been magnificent at that this season. Plus he's got a good pass on him and knows where the net is.

But whereas Roy Keane's indiscretions used to be on the pitch, Barton has so much off the field baggage that I'm no longer convinced his ability outweigh the problems. It's a shame because I do really rate him as a player, but I think we may see his career slide into oblivion in the next couple of years.

class player, a scholes like player. Exactly what we need. We have too many ponces and not enough nasty little fuckers.

We need a scumbag. Someone to mix it up in midfield.

He's a horrible fucker but could become a god at WHL.

he could also try and kick the shit out of some other players... not worth the risk of our own players being injured by him, or a split in the team because of him...

would never happen at spurs because he'd never be king dick round here.

as if robbie or didier wouldn't flatten his arse on the training ground :rofl:

I reckon he's a great player. Good defensive cover, good passer, strong tackler & scores goals

can never say it would never happen

dont think you could have put money on Davids and keane having a fight during training, but it happend

i think he is a good player, but there are other plaeyrs out there who can do the same job for us, but with less of an attitude and isnt such a Thug
